Wake Up Call

We all wished each other a Happy New Year and happily plunged into 2024. A bit scary I have to say considering how many years I have been on this planet including living through one century and stepping into another. That can be rather daunting. Since January began fifteen days have whizzed by.
My step-grandson Mikelis in Latvia was born in 2019 to my stepdaughter Mara, Martin’s daughter, and today had his fifth birthday. The photo is of Mara, Mikelis, and their adopted cat Lady.
Since the beginning of the month, I have blogged three times on my WordPress site usually trying to do it about every three days. I have also kept up with my postings on Vocal Media. I have cashed out several times on my survey sites and am soon getting another Amazon gift card.
There are still two weeks and three days until the end of January to accomplish more things. What have you been doing since the year began?

Since the year began, I have just been crocheting like I did before the previous year ended. Crochet business has been doing well and I can't stop crocheting now.

@AmbiePam it is best to stay in and keep warm unless you can get together at one house or the other then it is just a quick trip over in a warm car,

Hapoy Birthday to Mikelis. Turning 5 is such a great age.
Your January sounds like it's off to a good start. I started this new year sick so I haven't accomplished much.

What type of word press blog do you have?
I have several there and hopefully before the year is up I'll get back to posting on them. But right now it's tax season and I'm hoping to get our business bookwork caught up and maybe get our refund back earlier than we usually do.
Most of mine start with: much ado about...
One is ' freelancing',
Another is 'many things'
And a third is about 'biblical research', I think. I've not visited most in a very long time.
I've also used to yolasite to blog with and other platforms.

@1creekgirl I find that if I keep to a set schedule I do much better and my anxiety is in control. Mikelis will be going to school soon and that will be an anxious time for him and his mom since they tried nursery school and that did not work out,

@Ronrybs if you choose to blog once a week can be plenty as long as you get people interested, followers, and readers they will be there for you,

I am taking surveys just about every day. I haven't had any focus groups, etc. yet this year. I MyLot about 3 hours every day. I still haven't done anything with my writing. Great picture. Have a good day. I imagine it's been pretty cold there. It was 3F yesterday morning here in NE Ohio.

Mostly I have been online. Maybe five days this month have been pleasant enough to be out. I have cashed out for small amounts at several places.

That's a beautiful photo of your grandson. I haven't blogged for some months.
I can't even tell what I've been doing since the year began. I wasn't keeping records. But I have been active on mylot this month compared to a year ago.
